More trying to convince the peasantry that they’re basically too incompetent to be trusted with freedom.

The Constitution doesn’t give rights, it recognizes and protects the ones we’re born with.

The constitutional justification for the FedGov regulating “public accommodations” (even private businesses, even totally within a state) was to assure the rights of Jim-Crow-era negroes to travel and to cross state lines; i.e. freedom of independent movement is a friggin’ right, not a dagnab privilege (reasonable regulation for health & safety is allowed, so is denial via adjudication).

Cue song
“In the Year 2525″
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain’t gonna need your teeth, won’t need your eyes
You won’t find a thing to chew
Nobody’s gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin’ limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin’ to do
Some machine’s doin’ that for you
In the year 6565
You won’t need no husband, won’t need no wife
You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube…

The combination of the exponential march of technology and the non-stop nibble nibble nibble of Progthought will bring that nightmare run by elites, maybe even the singularity of intelligent machines reproducing themselves out of free will independent of elites, long before the dates in that song.
